Do you have baby items that you can’t live without? Items that you think are absolute crap? Items that you wish someone would finally invent? [Read more…]
BREASTFEEDING CRITICISM by guest blogger Ashley Cmar
My name is Ashley Cmar. I’m a 27 year old mother of two from Latrobe, Pennsylvania. My daughter Deanna is 4 1/2 and was never breastfed, but my son Maximus is 13 months and we are still going strong with our breastfeeding journey! I don’t know who loves it more, him or me!
IT WAS HER RIGHT TO EAT by guest blogger Paola
My name is Paola and I’m 26. I’m a single mother to my two year old, Daenerys. We have been nursing since she was three days old and when I saw your post today on Instagram about nursing in public, I felt really excited about that. I do have a blog on Tumblr but I thought I’d write something new about it rather than send you a link to something old. My feelings about it are different now that we’ve done this so long.

Before I begin about our journey to nursing in public, I think it’s important to note how we started. Daenerys was born with the cord round her neck and they swiftly pried her away to the NICU. A nurse wrongfully recorded she had gone five minutes without breathing and I met my baby two hours after she was born. She had tubes everywhere and I couldn’t hold her.

We travel in packs. We are a village. We have each other’s backs. You mess with one, you mess with all.
A Review of Primal Pit Paste
Deodorant is controversial stuff. Well, maybe not the deodorant itself, it might just be the spread of new information that gets touchy. I posted on Facebook about how some of the ingredients in big brand name deodorants were being linked to breast cancer. Instead of people saying, “Oh wow, that’s disturbing, I want to read more about that,” they said, “That’s ridiculous! I need my deodorant! I would never go without deodorant. Gross!” [Read more…]
A Review of Motherlove Green Salve
By Abby Theuring, MSW
I would love to have a suitcase designated just for hygiene products. I’d bring my various face creams, body washes, lotions, hair serums, coconut oil, olive oil and exfoliates every time I went out of town. Which is often. I’d bring my Motherlove products for the kids; the diaper rash and thrush and the birth and baby oil that I use to rub up the baby. By the time everything is packed I have no room for diapers and I’m only going on a weekender to the grandparent’s house an hour away. Something’s gotta give. [Read more…]
10 Things My Breastfeeding Mother Didn’t Have
I was recently talking to my mom about what her experience was like nursing me in the 70’s. During our conversation I realized just how many convenience items have been developed for breastfeeding moms that she didn’t have. There are many items that I have never tried, but I was surprised at how many are actually inside my house right now. As blogger I get the opportunity to sample many things. Here’s 10 things that my mom never had.
